The Doctor of Physical Therapy Program

The Doctor of Physical Therapy program at the Medical College of Georgia is designed to challenge talented and ambitious students to grow into autonomous health care professionals. Graduates are qualified to sit for the state-administered national licensure examination.

Our learner-centered curriculum emphasizes active learning, problem-solving skills, and evidence-based practices. Our primary goal is to prepare reflective individuals who possess the technical proficiency and problem solving capabilities sufficient to enable the safe, efficient and effective practice of physical therapy in a rapidly changing health care environment.

The program requires 3 academic years and three summers (9 semesters, 36 months) of full-time study. A new class enters in May of each year and graduates 3 years later. Classes are scheduled in a traditional weekday format at the main campus in Augusta.
